Getting "undefined reference" in QT Creator when calling a specific function
So I am reading this book: C ++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, Second Edition by Jasmin Blanchette; Mark Summerfield to learn GUI programming. And following the instructions in the book to create a simple spreadsheet application, I get an "undefined" link, an error when I try to compile the Spreadsheet widget.
All errors seem to come from the function Cell *Spreadsheet::cell(int row, int column)
:
Cell *Spreadsheet::cell(int row, int column) const
{
return static_cast<Cell *>(item(row, column));
}
This is the first function that complains about spreadsheet.cpp
QString Spreadsheet::formula(int row, int column) const {
Cell *c = cell(row, column);
if (c) {
return c->formula();
} else {
return "";
}
}
If the string Cell *c = cell(row, column);
Sends an error: /home/axel/QtSDK/Code/Spreadsheet/spreadsheet.cpp: -1: error: undefined reference to `Cell :: Cell () '
This happens wherever it is called cell(row, column)
. The function itself is defined in the distribution header in the private section as:Cell *cell(int row, int column) const;
Sorry if this seems messy, I am new to C ++ programming.
Here's my .pro file
TEMPLATE = app CONFIG += console CONFIG += qt SOURCES += main.cpp \ spreadsheet.cpp HEADERS += \ spreadsheet.h
If I am missing something, I will add it as soon as I can.
Thanks, Axel
